Well, since my last post end October I haven’t blogged at all. I kept thinking “I have to re-start blogging” but I never did it. Now I did though and first some updates about my life in Derbyshire. I have been living here for 5 months now and I’m really enjoying life here! The area [...]

Well, again I haven’t posted for a while, but I have got a stressful time behind me. I got a new job and moved down from Darlington to Derbyshire! For quite a while I have been stressed with finding the job, then the stress of moving came around, while things like study etc. just stayed. [...]

Disgusted is the only right word to describe how I felt about the election results in The Netherlands last Wednesday. The far right racist extremist Wilders and his Party For Freedom became the third party and is looking for a place in the next coalition government. Approx. 1.5 million Dutch people have voted for him, [...]

And obviously I’ve watched Eurovision, got some alcohol and had a great night. The right song has won, Lena from [...]

Well, yesterday I arrived back from Hamburg after a great weekend! The trip there was tiring, I had to travel all the way to Stansted Airport to spend the night there (and I didn’t get much sleep). Saturday morning at 6 I took the plane, arriving at the Reeperbahn just before 11. Then the partying [...]

Well, I have had a long day at work. Today marked the start of the monthly reporting and considering the bank holiday yesterday (although I had to do some work from home) there was even more to do today. But I coped with it and I could leave work just after 5, although I did [...]

Well, I didn’t post for a few days, but I’m back now! Last Thursday I didn’t feel that well and quite soon after work I went to bed. I could hardly eat anything and felt really tired. Yesterday I started feeling better, it was not fantastic in the morning but I just went to work [...]

After Nick Clegg totally won the first debate, I was fearing he couldn’t keep it up. But tonight he has proven again what a great debater he is! He totally owned Brown and Cameron! Clegg was the strongest all round, although Brown was a lot better then last week. Cameron was simply crap, he kept [...]
